The panelists gave a lot of great advice and of course, I jotted all of the important points down. I like going to these events. I might not meet the right people that I need to get me going with my career but it is really nice to hear an experienced person's point of view. I feel like we're often very restricted in terms of opinions. The mindset of the people around you may be completely different than another group of people and this event helped me open my mind a little bit.
A few things stuck with me after the event:
1. Be confident in what you know but also be confident in what you DON'T know
2. Don't take a job because other people think it's a good job
3. Don't be so focused on the odds: the detours in life are the most rewarding experiences
One of the panelists graduated from Waterloo from the AFM program so I talked to her a bit. She was so down to earth and gave such genuine advice. It was reassuring to hear some of the things she said.
"You don't have to go through the traditional pathway. Yes, it's stable but if you wan't to be unique, original, and want to take advantage of the great things in life, do something different."
Here's what I wore. I am really loving the camis. It's reversable so this side is off-white and the other side is more of a beige colour.
After the event, we met up with Hubert and Roy and we went to Momofuku Noodle Bar. I was actually really disappointed in the food. I was so excited to go and had such high expectations for it because everyone was talking about it.. but it wasn't even that good :( It was expensive too. Don't go there for summerlicious people.
It was a lovely day and the event made me more certain about my decisions regarding my career path. Stay inspired and motivated, everyone!
